Johnathan Joseph felt fine Friday and said he isn’t limited in any way heading into Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans.

Joseph strained his groin against the Denver Broncos early in the game and estimates he played about 45 minutes after that. He did not practice Wednesday and was limited Thursday, but he termed that as a precautionary move.

“I think I tested it out enough yesterday running around with my son,” Joseph said. “I pretty much had a feeling today would be the day that I could go out there and … be full go.”

The Texans could have used cornerback Alan Ball in Joseph’s place, but they are glad to have their best corner available.

“He’s a leader back there on the back end,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “There’s that saying there’s the shutdown corner on each football team; he’s our guy.”

Only receiver Lestar Jean, who had a minor knee surgery earlier this week, missed practice today.
